Once I got Max under control, I had my wife call the owner. Once she saw me, she thought her life was over. Max played rough, very rough. But he was playing, and I recognized it instantly as a result of playing with my own large dogs. Result, one report of a black Labrador attack was never filed.
If all dog attacks were reported, regardless of severity, we would see a very different picture than just the dreaded pit bull. Most dogs, and virtually all small dogs would be front and center. Like the pomeranian that bit it's owner because he/she reached for the dog toy. Dog bite, yes. Blood, yes. Pain, yes. Medical attention, bandaid and a whiskey. Report, no.

So saying when some get killed by dog other than pit bulls it’s not news?
